A remarkable proclivity for falling apart, with or without the impetus of a collision or rollover. Oh, and the fuel tank was in the back with the engine, so they loved to catch on fire in rearenders.
People raced these things when I was a corner flagman for the SF region of the SCCA. We hated them. If you rolled one they shed parts (like doors) all over the place, which we had to pick/sweep up. The only car we disliked more were Triumph TR2s, which had a nasty habit of flinging their spare tires at you in a rollover.
Cheers,
